Terms & Conditions

Disclaimer

These Terms and Conditions outline the guidelines for all electrical services provided by SaltStone Electrical Group, including quotes, pricing, variations, access requirements, cancellations, payment terms, warranties, safety compliance, and liability. By engaging our services, you agree to these terms, which ensure transparency, safety, and a high standard of workmanship for every residential and commercial project.

Terms & Conditions 

1. Agreement

By accepting a quote, engaging our services, or making payment, the client agrees to these Terms & Conditions.

 

2. Quotes & Pricing

All quotes are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise.

Prices are in AUD and exclusive of GST unless specified.

Quotes are based on information available at the time and may be subject to change if site conditions differ.

 

3. Scope of Work

Works include only what is detailed in the quote or job description.

Any additional work will be treated as a variation and charged accordingly.

 

4. Variations & Additional Charges

Additional costs may apply due to:

Unforeseen site conditions

Non-compliant or unsafe existing installations

Changes requested by the client

Restricted access or delays

Variations will be communicated where possible prior to proceeding.

 

5. Payment Terms

Payment terms will be stated on the quote or invoice.

Deposits may be required prior to commencement.

Progress payments may apply for larger works.

Final payment is due upon completion unless otherwise agreed.

Failure to pay may result in:

Suspension of works

Additional fees or interest

Debt recovery action

 

6. Site Access & Client Responsibilities

The client must:

Provide safe and reasonable access to the work area

Ensure the site is ready for works to proceed

Advise of any known hazards or special conditions

Delays caused by the client may result in additional charges.

 

7. Compliance & Standards

All work is carried out in accordance with:

Relevant Australian Standards

State regulations and codes

Where required, a Certificate of Electrical Compliance (CCEW) will be issued.

 

8. Existing Installations

We are not responsible for faults in existing systems or equipment.

If unsafe or non-compliant conditions are identified, additional work may be required.

 

9. Solar Systems & Grid Connection

Solar system performance estimates are indicative only and may vary depending on weather conditions, shading, system orientation, and the client’s energy usage patterns.

Grid connection approval is subject to the relevant electricity distributor (e.g. Energex) and may result in limitations such as export restrictions, system size constraints, or additional requirements.

Any additional works required to meet distributor or compliance requirements (including export limiting devices, switchboard upgrades, or protection equipment) are not included unless explicitly stated and will be charged as a variation.

Delays relating to approvals, inspections, or network connection are outside of our control and do not constitute a breach of contract.

10. Battery Systems & “Battery Ready” Installations

Battery system performance and storage capacity are dependent on system configuration, usage patterns, and environmental conditions.

Where a system is described as “battery ready”, it is designed to allow future battery integration; however, additional equipment, labour, and configuration will be required at the time of battery installation.

Compatibility with future battery systems is subject to manufacturer specifications and technological changes.

Any additional works required at the time of battery installation (including inverter upgrades, switchboard modifications, or protection equipment) are not included unless explicitly stated and will be charged as a variation.

11. Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Installations

EV charger performance and charging speeds are dependent on the existing electrical infrastructure, available capacity, and site conditions.

The quoted installation assumes sufficient capacity is available. Where additional works are required (including switchboard upgrades, mains upgrades, protection devices, or load management systems), these will be treated as a variation unless otherwise specified.

Any required network approvals, notifications, or compliance requirements are subject to the relevant authority and may impact installation timelines or system configuration.

We are not responsible for limitations caused by the client’s existing electrical supply or network constraints.

 

12. Materials & Supply

Materials supplied remain our property until paid in full.

Product availability may affect timelines.

Equivalent products may be used if necessary.

 

13. Warranty

SaltStone Electrical Group provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on all installation works. This covers defects arising from installation only and does not include manufacturer equipment faults or external factors.

All supplied equipment is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty periods vary by product and are subject to the manufacturer’s terms and conditions. SaltStone Electrical Group will assist in facilitating warranty claims where required.

14. Cancellations & Rescheduling

Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a fee.

Deposits may be non-refundable once materials are ordered.

Rescheduling is subject to availability.

 

15. Delays Beyond Control

We are not responsible for delays caused by:

Weather conditions

Supplier delays

Network/provider approvals

Events outside our control

 

16. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law:

We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses

Liability is limited to the value of the services provided

 

17. Safety

We reserve the right to:

Stop work if unsafe conditions are identified

Refuse to carry out non-compliant or unsafe work

 

18. Photography & Marketing

We may take photos of completed work for marketing purposes.

 No personal or identifying information will be shared

19. STC Rebate

The quoted price includes an estimated STC (Small-scale Technology Certificate) rebate. By accepting this proposal, the customer agrees to assign all eligible STCs to SaltStone Electrical Group in exchange for a point-of-sale discount included in the total price.

STC values are determined by market conditions and may vary at the time of installation. Any variation in STC value does not affect the agreed total system price unless otherwise stated.
